Welcome to the 2024 UNC Charlotte Summer Research Symposium!

The Summer Symposium celebrates the intellectual exploration and creativity of our students. With over 140 presenters, 2024 represents our largest ever Summer Symposium. The presentations represent nearly 30,000 hours of collaborative work between students and mentors in the labs, libraries, studios, field sites, and with community partners. We encourage you to engage broadly with the diverse projects representing 7 colleges from across the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

The research presented here represents multiple National Science Foundation supported programs, the Charlotte Teachers Institute, the Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation, and the OUR Summer Scholars. 

This Symposium site contains pre-recorded summaries for all of the presentations that you can see in person on August 2, 2024. This site allows attendees to engage with student projects from anywhere in the world at any time! We hope that you will support our students both virtually and in person if you're in the Charlotte area. The in-person Summer Research Symposium will be held in the Popp Martin Student Union from 9am-2pm. A schedule is provided below.
